Real-Time Air Quality & Pollution Guide India
SkyClean is India's most advanced real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) tracker. We aggregate data from thousands of government and independent monitoring stations to provide you with hyper-local pollution updates for cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad. Unlike standard weather apps, SkyClean focuses specifically on PM2.5, PM10, and Ozone levels to help you make informed health decisions.
Why Check AQI Today?
Air pollution in India is a silent health crisis. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a standardized metric used to communicate how polluted the air currently is. The scale ranges from 0 (Good) to 500+ (Hazardous). Checking the AQI before you step out can help you decide whether to wear a mask, run an air purifier, or avoid outdoor exercise.
Understanding Pollution Levels
- 0-50 (Good): Air quality is satisfactory. Enjoy your outdoor activities.
- 51-100 (Moderate): Acceptable quality, but sensitive people should be cautious.
- 101-200 (Poor): Children, the elderly, and asthmatics should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
- 201-300 (Very Poor): Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is likely to be affected.
- 300+ (Severe): Emergency. Avoid all physical activity outdoors.
Health Effects of PM2.5
PM2.5 refers to particulate matter (fine dust) less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter. These tiny particles can bypass the nose's filtration system and penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream. Long-term exposure to high PM2.5 levels is linked to asthma, heart attacks, and reduced lung function. SkyClean tracks PM2.5 levels live to keep you and your family safe.
